"The US southern command reported a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations, resulting in the deaths of three male narco-terrorists."
"International legal experts and rights groups argue that the strikes likely amount to extrajudicial killings, targeting civilians who do not pose an immediate threat to the United States."
"The American Civil Liberties Union stated that investigations revealed some of those killed were fishermen trying to support their families, contradicting claims made by the administration."
"Lawyers filed a federal lawsuit against the US on behalf of families of victims, asserting that the killings lack any plausible legal justification."
The US military conducted a lethal strike on a drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific, killing three individuals. This marks the fifth such attack in five days, totaling at least 177 deaths. The strikes target vessels linked to Designated Terrorist Organizations, but the US has not provided evidence of drug trafficking. Critics argue these actions may constitute extrajudicial killings, as many victims appear to be civilians, including fishermen. Legal challenges have been raised against the US government regarding the justification for these strikes.
